This is still a connection-related issue, even if your internet seems fine.
When MelonLoader tries to download the .NET Runtime, it does NOT use the same method as your browser, so it can fail even if your internet works normally.
๐ Possible causes:
- Firewall / antivirus blocking the connection
- Windows security blocking the request
- ISP or region restrictions
- MelonLoader download server temporarily unavailable
โ What you should try:
1. Run MelonLoader as Administrator
Right-click โ Run as Administrator
2. Disable antivirus / firewall temporarily
Some antivirus software silently blocks downloads like this
๐๐ป Or add an exception for:
- MelonLoader
- Your game folder
3. Try a different network
๐๐ป For example:
- Mobile hotspot
- Different Wi-Fi
(This helps confirm if it's a network/ISP issue)
4. Use a VPN (if available)
Sometimes regions block or fail to connect to MelonLoader servers
5. Install .NET Runtime manually (Recommended)
Instead of letting MelonLoader download it:
๐๐ป Download and install manually: .NET Desktop Runtime 6.0 (x64)
After installing, run the game again.
๐ก Important:
This is not a problem with your mod or game
It is only MelonLoader failing to download required files.
If it still fails, please tell us:
- Your Windows version
- What antivirus you are using
